Brides have always had the monopoly on special wedding cars but now Jonathan, 33, has struck a blow for male equality.

Jonathan has always loved his cars and had Porsches in the past.

But when he swapped his flash motor for a more understated two-seater Aston Martin Vantage, he hit on a business idea that’s taken off.

For around £350 Jonathan will turn chauffeur to transport the groom to his wedding in the leather-bound luxury of an Aston Martin.

An Aston Martin Vantage hired out by wedding car business Aston Martin Event Hire in Brighouse.

Jonathan said: “It’s a unique idea and no-one had done it in the wedding market before.

“The groom is often forgotten about in the wedding planning with the bride’s dress, the wedding cake and the flowers but this is something a bride often does as a surprise for her man. Everyone loves an Aston Martin.”

A suspected Aston Martin DB11 prototype spotted on the road between Guiseley and Horsforth in Leeds. The covering on the bodywork is designed to disguise its lines.

The DB11, with a swirly body covering to hide its curves, was also spotted in Leeds.

Aston Martins will always be synonymous with James Bond from the iconic DB5, which first appeared in the 1964 film Goldfinger with Sean Connery, to the specially-built DB11 driven by Daniel Craig in the 2014 film Spectre.
